Xianxia: I Can Alter The Dates Of Herb Plants - Chapter 3
In the herb garden of the Tempered Spirit Peak, Su Chen was sitting on a stone bench under an ancient tree. He could finally relax a little.
He carefully recalled the scene he saw in the medicinal garden of the Pill Peak.
“What if the person who stole the herb was really elder Liu? With his status as an elder, there’s no need for that at all. If he just went to forward to ask for one, wouldn’t it save him all the trouble?”
After thinking for a long time, he still could not figure it out. He might as well forget it.
“I didn’t see any strange and eccentric elder at Pill Peak, nor did I manage to obtain the seed of the Meridian Unblocking Herb…”
“I still can’t cultivate Qi. All I can do now is only to cultivate my body! Right now, I have the Herb Modification System, so there’s no problem for me to cultivate my body,” Su Chen muttered to himself.
Suddenly, he thought of the system. He had yet to plant and modify the Bone Forging Herb that he obtained. He took out the seed of the Bone Forging Herb from his pocket. This was a very small, completely black seed.
It was just like black sesame seed from Su Chen’s previous world.
Su Chen took this seed and came to the back of the small wooden house. Then, he planted the Bone Forging Herb.
With a thought, he muttered, “Modify the time of the Bone Forging Herb for… 50 years!”
He saw a dark green light flash past.
[Congratulations, host has modified the year of a herb for the first time, obtained the ‘Snow Lotus Pill’ formula.]
The system’s voice suddenly sounded in Su Chen’s mind. A Snow Lotus Pill formula suddenly appeared in Su Chen’s hand.
The Snow Lotus Pill was a healing elixir. Regardless of whether it was external or internal injuries, it had a miraculous effect. As long as one ate it, even if one’s injuries could not be healed immediately, it could still greatly reduce the injury.
Looking at this Snow Lotus Pill formula, Su Chen could not help but smile.
At this moment, The Bone Forging Herb seed that he planted was slowly breaking out of the ground and growing into a small green sprout. In an instant, it was already almost one centimeter tall!
“It sprouted! This is too fast! If the Bone Forging herb grows naturally, who knows how long it would take for it to sprout.”
He watched as the modified Bone Forging Herb sprouted. Then, Su Chen moved a stone bench and sat in front of the herb, waiting for it to mature.
He watched as the Bone Forging Herb grew bit by bit!
Su Chen had been staring at the changes of the Bone Forging Herb. Unknowingly, he had already fallen asleep.
The next morning, a ray of sunlight enveloped the medicinal garden from outside the mountain wall. At this moment, Su Chen was still sleeping.
It seemed that he had spent a lot of energy on the trip to the back of the medicinal garden yesterday. Suddenly, he smelled a rich medicinal fragrance.
Su Chen was slightly stunned, but then his heart moved. “Could it be…”
Then, he suddenly opened his eyes. What he saw was a plant that was over 50 centimeters tall. The leaves of the Bone Forging Herb were fat and vibrant. The stalks were densely covered with green thorns. Moreover, under the spiritual eye, the Bone Forging Herb was filled with spiritual energy, and it shimmered with light spots!
“One, three… five, five leaves!”
“Success! In one night, the Bone Forging Herb ripened for a total of 50 years.”
Su Chen carefully checked the Bone Forging Herb and confirmed that it was exactly the same as described in the Hundred Herb Diagram. It was really the optimal maturity of the Bone Forging Herb, 50 years old.
“If I modify the herbs according to the Herb Modification System, then I will have as many precious herbs as I want! This way, I can get all the herbs needed for body refining. If I don’t use up all of them, I can exchange them for spirit stones or other herbs.” Su Chen looked at the Bone Forging Herb in front of him and muttered to himself.
After he obtained the best mature Bone Forging Herb, he did not feel much joy. Instead, he was carefully thinking about the benefits and dangers that the system brought to him.
Su Chen knew very well that if others found out that he could change the year of the herb, he would definitely be imprisoned and turned into a tool.
“I absolutely can not let another person know about this.”
Su Chen made up his mind and decided to keep his mouth shut. He would not reveal anything to outsiders.
Thinking of this, Su Chen bent down to pick the Bone Forging Herb.
He discovered that there was a black seed near the matured Bone Forging Herb!
“The seed of the Bone Forging Herb!”
Su Chen, who had been relatively calm, suddenly felt excited!
After the Bone Forging Herb matured, and it even left seed behind!
Then in the future, when he modified the herb to maturity, there would be an endless supply of Bone Forging Herb!
Moreover, it was the best quality Bone Forging Herb there is! Not even the disciples of some sects and aristocratic families would be able to get their hands on this! They would not be able to get herbs like this even if they wanted to!
It was not that they did not have the resources to obtain it… This was just an ordinary herb and although the common herbs were not as good as the best-aged herbs, they could just buy more. With the financial resources of these people, they could easily obtain plenty of herbs. What was the point of spending such a huge amount of effort to specially cultivate a perfect, optimal herb?
After seeing the seeds of the Bone Forging Herb, Su Chen made a plan.
First, he would use this matured Bone Forging Herb to observe the effect. Then, he would plant all the seeds of the Bone Forging Herb, modify their years, and wait for them to mature before cultivating!
At this moment, Su Chen immediately took action.
He picked the 50-year-old Bone Forging Herb and brought it into the small house. Then, he locked the door behind him.
It was almost impossible to find Bone Forging Herb of this maturity outside. You could not buy it even if you paid the price!
Typically, when Bone Forging Herb grew to 10 years old, it would already be used by cultivators to strengthen their physique as they cultivated!
In this world, almost everyone walked the path of Qi cultivation. The speed of Qi cultivation was fast, and they constantly absorbed the spiritual energy of Heaven and Earth, as well as the spiritual energy contained in spirit stones.
Meanwhile, there were very few people who walked the path of body refinement. This was because the various large amounts of herbs needed for body refining were enough to empty out their savings. Moreover, there were not enough herbs that were old enough, therefore, the demand for matured herbs would increase exponentially!
After Su Chen entered the room, he took out a wooden barrel and placed the Bone Forging Herb into it. Then, he used boiling water to melt the Bone Forging Herb.
As time passed, the Bone Forging Herb gradually fused with the water.
At this moment, Su Chen looked at the wooden barrel and saw that the entire barrel was emerald green. Steam was rising from it, and spiritual energy permeated the air.
When he saw this, he took off his shirt without hesitation. His beige skin was exposed, and he looked a little thin. Immediately, he entered the medicinal barrel.
The moment he entered the medicinal barrel, Su Chen felt a surge of medicinal power instantly surge into his body. He felt a warm feeling, but this warm feeling lasted for less than a moment, then it slowly disappeared.
At this moment, Su Chen looked at his body and muttered to himself, “This body refinement really requires a large number of herbs. Just this best-aged Bone Forging Herb alone can not improve me!”
“It seems that I still need to continue modifying the Bone Forging Herb seeds that I’ve just obtained to use for body refinement and cultivation.”
After that, he planted all the seeds.
“Modifying the age of the Bone Forging Herbs for… 50 years!”
After doing all this, Su Chen looked at a large amount of Bone Forging Herbs that were slowly sprouting and breaking out of the soil.
Feeling that time could not be wasted, he picked up the Snow Lotus Pill formula and began to study it.
He decided to modify the herbs in the medicinal garden according to the formula and prepare some herbs that were useful for his body refinement.
After reading it, Su Chen found out that this formula had strict requirements on the age of the herbs. Even if other people wanted to make it, they would not be able to gather all the herbs with the correct age.
Even if someone had these formulas and wanted to make it, but did not have the herbs that were at the correct age, he could only look up to the sky and sigh.
After reading these formulas, Su Chen started to get busy.
He selected the herbs that were needed by the formula from the herb garden.
These herbs were all transplanted to the back of the house, and he began to modify the years of the herbs..
